Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1179
And in this human blood steamed bun tragedy, the theory of divine punishment and the relationship between heaven and man are useless in themselves when used in Europe.

If it were not for the outbreak of the Enlightenment, this kind of disaster would only accelerate the spread of religion and increase the piety of believers.

Because according to the religious interpretation, isn't it because of Lisbon's moral corruption, trade, mercenary, worldly morale, and people's hearts, etc., that caused the disaster?
Natural disasters, in the age of ignorance, have always been the hotbed of religious dissemination, rather than the beginning of the collapse of beliefs, especially things that have been passed on for more than a thousand years. What scenes have you not seen?Already have a plan.

The "civil science" prediction pamphlets that are now circulating in Europe will, on the one hand, accelerate people's worship of science and rationality. Although Scientology or encyclopedia teaching may not be good, it is definitely better than religion and God's punishment. That set, the set that heaven and man feel should be improved.

On the other hand, it will immediately accelerate the disintegration of the Holy See.

Because the Holy See must regard this pamphlet as heresy and heresy.

Because, at this time, Newtonian mechanics, here in the Jesuits, is a banned book, and it is also a banned book in Portugal, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it.

The faster the rumors spread.

The Holy See will use greater efforts to increase control over these rumors.

To increase the control of these rumors, once something happens, the consequences can be imagined.

Now Dashun, the heaviest and most dazzling secular crown in the world at this time, has set an example for monarchs everywhere: how to manage religion.

Even Russia, which is backward, has kicked off the patriarchate in the process of reform, and the regime has begun to control the right to teach.

The Enlightenmentists detonated by the earthquake, Gaulism and Jansenism who were dissatisfied with the Holy See for a long time, Spain, which was greedy for the Guarani trade area on the issue of South American colonies, Portugal, which suffered the most from the earthquake...

There is a high chance of cutting off with the Holy See.

Dashun started, as long as Portugal and Spain followed suit, the collapse of the Holy See would be just around the corner.

Dashun did this for the future expansion of trade areas such as India, Persia, the Middle East, and Africa.The more chaotic the religion, the better, and the more detailed the better. With the skin of Christianity, a bunch of strange and characteristic etiquette schools will be created. In the future, Christianity will be like the European Union.

You eat unleavened cakes, I eat corn noodles, he eats rice balls, he eats dates... Then we can do it according to local conditions.

This is what the Jesuits did back then, stealing God Haotian and modifying the etiquette.

Now Dashun uses his way and gives it back to him for my own use, setting up many hills and tearing apart the world of Christianity.

The best way to get rid of weeds is to grow leeks.Otherwise, the land will be left unused, and sooner or later it will be filled with weeds.

What Dashun has to do now is to mass-produce characteristic leek seeds, sesame seeds, and wormwood seeds and throw them everywhere.

Dashun has no shortage of talents in this field, and there were quite a few scholar-bureaucrats before the ban on religion, so it's better to find some work for them.

It's very simple.

Historically, the group of people in North Korea, such as the group of Quan Zheshen, did not have direct teachings from Catholic missionaries. After reading a few books and observing the organizational model, they compiled a whole set of things by themselves. Break through the circle of scholar-bureaucrats in Seoul, and a bunch of people who joined the church.

Hong Xiuquan is also self-taught.

As long as you get stuck in the core area, the rest is up to you.

The first batch of professional manufactures were either believers or paid wages.

From the second batch, there will be a steady stream of believers.

Anyway, in the large "faith wasteland", apart from my own land, it is better to grow leeks than let weeds take over the rest. After all, Confucianism without magic reform is a delicate flower in a greenhouse, and it cannot grow in that kind of wasteland.

If I can't get it, then let the opponent can't get it either. Disgusting others is offensiveism.

As for what the magic changes into, that's something to say.Remove the dross and extract the essence. Many things, such as the organizational structure, the meaning of the Emperor of Heaven, and the mode of communication, can of course incorporate some pre-Qin things so that it still has a certain Chinese flavor when it is spread abroad.

But now, although Liu Yu was thinking about attacking and directly dismantling the Holy See; but at this time, it still looks like a defense, after all, it is mixed with sand when it is not easy to defend in Nanyang and other places.

Of course, what Liu Yu said in front of these foreign envoys, after eliminating the targeted things, the rest was actually taken as an opportunity to say to Dashun internally.

Including denouncing religion and dispelling the interaction between heaven and man, we should take this opportunity to speak out.

On the one hand, it is to lay a more solid foundation for Dashun to ban religion.

On the other hand, it is also for the worship of reason and science to form beliefs in the pioneering areas of Dashun.

As for why Liu Yu can speak so outrageously, he even sprayed about the induction between heaven and man... In Dashun, it’s nothing to complain about the induction between heaven and man, and there are too many people who spray it; , and even the identity of the court duke, which has a special meaning.

Inside Dashun, the emperor is now on the verge of riding a tiger.

One of the most, most, most stupid criticisms of Dashun's Li family is that they did not choose Zhu Zixue as their official ideology.

From the perspective of the emperor, this is absolutely the stupidest thing.

Of course, the circumstances were special.

But after choosing Yongjia and Yongkang Schools as their official ideology, it means that they have thrown away the heaviest thing - being ordered by heaven.

At the beginning, Chen Liang's orthodox theory of "performance rating" was chosen. There was a chance to change it back after the rule was stabilized.

However, it cannot be changed now, and there is no way to change it.

Chen Liang's set of things, Zhu Xi put it bluntly, if the orthodoxy can be graded based on performance, what if it fails?How much do you score for the Southern Song Dynasty?If you co-author the Southern Song Dynasty, there will be no orthodoxy?

Now, the emperor did not hesitate.

However, India is too fat, and the opportunities are so good, it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. The emperor, who is used to living with money in his hands, really has no way to return it at this time.

Astronomy says that a comet will appear soon.

The correct thing does not mean that it will be believed, but depends on whether the emperor is willing to believe it.

Believe in astronomy, believe that lightning is the same as glass rubbing against fur, and believe that wind and rain are regular?

Do you still believe in comets, disasters, celestial and human induction, and early warning from heaven?
It does not depend on how many achievements Dashun Academy of Sciences has.

It depends on how rich India is, how much tax it can collect, how much money it can get.

The emperor didn't want himself to be threatened by things like heaven and man induction and heaven warning if something happened to him during the expansion period.

So let Liu Yu say something, but the emperor himself had better not say it.

Heaven's warning is not a bad thing for imperial power.

On the contrary, for imperial power, it is actually a good thing.

Because the premise of the early warning from the heavens is that the sky really exists.

There is a heaven, and there is a son of heaven.

Only then are they ordered by heaven.

The orthodoxy of utilitarianism says that it is necessary to keep making progress, and even use rationalization in order to make progress.

Some things are hard to say.

Now that even comets can be predicted, what is left of that day?
It's just that riding a tiger is difficult now, and the trade, currency, and food issues in the Songsu area make the emperor feel that he may control the new era, and continue his family's rule by dividing the rule between internal and external, and suppressing and balancing each other.

In this way of thinking, money is very important.

Because money can really solve a lot of things.

Money, not wealth.

However, under the Songsu system, money is wealth.

Under this system, the money in hand is the ability to buy rice, sorghum, soybeans, warships, muskets, horses, and soldiers at any time.

Under this temptation, or in this situation, the emperor could only choose another interpretation of "heaven".

[The stars are spinning, the sun and the moon are passing by, the four ages are governed, yin and yang are magnified, and the wind and rain are generous. All things are born from their harmony, and each of them is nourished to be successful. If you don’t see the things, you can see their merits. This is what is called God; everyone knows why it is made, but no one knows its intangibility. If it is, it is called heaven]

[Heaven has permanence, it does not exist for Yao, and it does not perish for Jie.If you respond to it with order, it will be good; if you respond to it with chaos, you will suffer.]

This is basically what the emperor said through Liu Yu's mouth and this opportunity of the Macau issue and the Nanyang religious issue.

Tian's personality has been diluted or even erased.

There is no more warning from heaven, which will make the emperor punish himself or stop expanding.

But the same, it also means that there is no longer mandated by heaven.

Throwing away the early warning from the heavens also throws away the order from the heavens, the two are one and the same.

This is actually a very serious problem for the imperial power in Dashun, especially in the pioneering areas.

The sky is not the sky that looks up.

It is the universe, nature, the world itself.

Then, since the stars rotate with each other, the rotation of the sun and the moon is regular.

There are even rules in trade transactions and economic operations.

Then, the question changed from [Is this in line with Zhou etiquette] to [Is Zhou etiquette in line with the law], and further, [Is Dashun's current situation in line with the law]?
The emperor is now immersed in a prosperous age of burning oil, and he has made a choice that he thinks the advantages outweigh the disadvantages under the balance, but in Liu Yu's view, he is digging his own grave.

On the other hand, Liu Yu saw the needles and did not miss any opportunity to add some ingredients to it.

This righteous outburst against the missionaries and the Holy See seems to have the greatest impact on Europe, but in fact Dashun has not been affected at all.

After all, even if we only focus on material things regardless of ideas, chaos in Europe will eventually spread to Dashun through silver and foreign trade volume.

The Enlightenment Movement, or the shattering of the world into countries, will create a number of nation-states, and the efficient operation of the regime will be the strongest obstacle to smuggling and trade in Dashun.

The emperor didn't understand at all that it was Europe's demand for Dashun's goods that curbed Dashun's profit-seeking capital, and its desire for Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other places, which was the basis of the division of internal and external rule envisioned by the emperor.

The emperor's vision did not touch the law, but was based on the status quo and regarded the status quo as eternal.

It depends on how long the status quo lasts, not on how clever his design is.The more subtle you are about the present, the less appropriate you are for the future.
